Gilbert is getting set to replace shade structures in its neighborhood parks, meaning a bit of construction and closure is on the horizon. The aim is to enhance comfort and safety for all park-goers, courtesy of Capital Improvement Project PR1345.

Starting from Wednesday, expect a week-long shutdown of the Oak Tree Neighborhood Park Playground. You'll need to keep kids and picnics clear of the area through June 18th, according to the Town of Gilbert's announcement. Meanwhile, a Veterans Park Playground closure is also penciled in for July,  though dates are still in the tentative column, marked for July 8-15.

While this might interfere with some with day-to-day recreation, the upgrades are poised to improve the quality of outdoor activities down the road. The Town is asking for your patience as they work on sprucing up these spaces. For those who frequent Veterans Park, keep an eye out for the final closure dates, which the Town promises to deliver with as much advance notice as possible.
